Loblaws is a supermarket chain of 68 stores, headquartered in Brampton, with stores across Ontario and Quebec. Loblaws is a division of Loblaw Companies Limited, Canada's largest food distributor.

Loblaws stores used to be located across Canada until the early 1960s, when most in western Canada were renamed SuperValu and, later, as Real Canadian Superstore. They also used to operate stores in upstate New York and Pennsylvania. The chain also had a few stores with its own name in Western NY State. These were sold to Bells Markets in the mid 1970s.

Actor William Shatner did a number of television commercials for Loblaws in the 1970s, and would finish the ad spots by saying, "By gosh, the price is right".
